As an ESTJ you approach life with confidence and energy. You are active, ambitious and pragmatic, and for you, achievement, material security and status assume top priority. Mentally, you are analytical, logical and decisive, with a mistrust for lofty visions, abstract ideas and philosophies.
Where you excel is in organizing yourself and other people, and because of this often rise quickly towards positions of leadership and authority. With your strong sense of responsibility and accountability, you enjoy the satisfaction of being in control of events around you.
Given that ESTJs are confident, assertive and outgoing, stating their thoughts and opinions clearly and straightforwardly, there is usually little room for doubt about where your stand in relation to another person or to an issue.
You believe in tradition, value established organizations, and see the importance of proven systems and structures. As such you have a great respect for authority, rank and status. You involve yourself in your local community through organizing events, and make an excellent committee member or chairperson. People, behavior or attitudes that do not conform to your very clear standards are likely to be viewed with suspicion.
